3 Strategic Plan With support of major shareholder and leading Australian specialty metals company Neometals Ltd (ASX:NMT), Hannans is aiming to develop into a West Australian mining company via: Exploration success for lithium and or nickel at Forrestania adjoining tenure owned by SQM, Kidman Resources Ltd and Western Areas Ltd; Participation in joint ventures for gold at Forrestania with Classic Minerals Ltd and lithium at Lake Johnston with Montezuma Mining Company Ltd; and or Acquisition of a major project. 3

4 Lithium State of Play in the South West Tianqi and BHPB are both building separate lithium chemical production facilities in Kwinana. Neometals/Mineral Resources and SQM/Kidman are also considering options to build lithium chemical production facilities in either Kalgoorlie or Kwinana. 4

5 Forrestania Lithium, Nickel and Gold Forrestania is known globally as a world class nickel sulphide camp, it hosts the historic +2M ounce Bounty gold mine Forrestania / Mt Holland is becoming recognised as a significant future production hub for lithium following the decision by Santiago based company SQM (NYSE:SQM) the world s largest producer of lithium to partner with ASX listed Kidman Resources Ltd to develop the Earl Grey Lithium Project Hannans project is squeezed between world class nickel mines (Flying Fox and Spotted Quoll owned by Western Areas Ltd) and a globally significant hard rock lithium project (owned by SQM and Kidman Resources Ltd) Two Ladies (Au) 5

6 Forrestania Lithium The Model 11km 2.7km 0.8km 1.6km Interpreted Fertile Granite Intrusion -potential source of pegmatites hosting exotic minerals (including lithium minerals) Area of Known Mineralisation 0.75km * 1.4km 6 White lines represent location of 1st phase of RAB drilling, shaded green area is Hannans tenement E77/2219, green ellipse is lithium anomalism from 1st phase of RAB drilling, pink oval shape is cartoon only of interpreted granite, yellow lines are distance/length markers.

7 For personal use only Forrestania Lithium Two phases of shallow reconnaissance RAB drilling on previously cleared grid lines has been completed Drill targets located approx. 4km west of a granite intrusion (mapped within Hannans tenure) which is potentially the source of the pegmatites hosting lithium at Earl Grey This distance (i.e. 4km) appears to be the distance necessary to allow for cooling of the intruding pegmatites sourced from the granite intrusions and for differential crystallization of exotic minerals including spodumene (an important lithium mineral) 7

8 Forrestania Lithium Next Steps Gain an understanding of the relationship between the lithium anomalism intersected in the 1 st RAB program and granite intersected in the 2 nd RAB program Complete a structural interpretation using the latest available airborne geophysical data sets and update the target model Generate the next round of pegmatite drill targets Obtain Government approvals to complete 3 rd phase of drilling - which will include additional reconnaissance, infill and deeper (150m) drilling Photo from 2 nd phase of RAB drilling at Forrestania (Courtesy of Bryan Smith) 8

9 Earl Grey Lithium Owned by Kidman Resources & SQM Surface expression (covered?) This deposit is NOT owned by Hannans. It has been included solely to illustrate the dimensions and orientation of the target type being explored for in the Hannans tenure. The above information has been extracted from an ASX release by Kidman Resources Ltd (ASX:KDR) dated 12 September 2016 and from Note: Earl Grey is a globally significant hard rock lithium resource The dimensions of the pegmatite hosting the deposit are approx. 750m * 1,400m The length of the surface expression of the pegmatite is approx. 100m The orebody orientation is such that it extends to depths >300m The pegmatite was originally intercepted whilst drilling for gold beneath the Earl Grey open pit which was historically mined for gold mine 9

10 Forrestania Gold 20% Free-Carried Interest Hannans is not required to fund any activities on the FGP until a Decision to Mine has been made by joint venture partner Classic Minerals Ltd Indicated Inferred Prospect Tonnes Grade (Au/t) Ounces Au Tonnes Grade (Au g/t) Ounces Lady Ada 283, , , ,750 Lady 1,828, ,700 2,450, ,000 Magdalene Total 2,112, ,900 2,710, ,750 The mineral resource is extracted from an ASX release made by Classic Minerals Ltd (ASX:CLZ) on 12 September The mineral resource is classified in accordance with JORC, 2012 Edition. The effective date of the mineral resource estimate is 31 December The mineral resource is reported at 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade. Depletion of the resource from historic open pit mining has been taken into account. Additional technical detail on the Mineral Resource Estimate is contained in the JORC Table 1 attached to announcements by CLZ on 14 March 2017 and 21 March

11 Forrestania Gold 20% Free-Carried Interest Approx. 1.7km Hannans holds a 20% interest in this gold project, free-carried through to Decision to Mine. The gold deposits are located within tenements registered in the name of Reed Exploration Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hannans Ltd. The Leapfrog model shown above has been reproduced from an ASX release made by Classic Minerals Ltd on 12 September

12 Forrestania Nickel World class nickel sulphide province Only four diamond drill holes targeting nickel have ever been drilled into Hannans tenure (strike length of ~15km) three were drilled in 2016 rock units prospective for nickel sulphides intersected Demand for nickel increasing due to requirement for nickel in lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles Hannans has initiated a process to joint venture its nickel tenure with a world class company 12

13 Lake Johnston Lithium, Nickel & Gold 15% Free Carried Interest Hannans is not required to fund any activities on the Lake Johnston project until a Decision to Mine has been made by joint venture partner Montezuma Mining Company Ltd Lithium reconnaissance exploration has generated very interesting results, leading to plans for additional work in
